Feeling's Mutual ( HANCOCK X FEMALE READER )

Chapter 52 - My In Law?

"wut" his face was both confused and shocked at the same time

"Like.. we surprise these people by putting you in the cage instead of me."

"Dude y/n ... are you afraid of the big boss?

"Definitely not. And it's not like i'll be fighting the 'big' boss, i'll just be in a match with their strongest fighter" i shrugged

"Dude ... i can hardly beat you .. what makes you think i can defeat this guy??????"

I groaned. "I generally don't say things like this to people, but I will to you."

gosh why is it hard to say...

"... you're actually .. not bad of a fighter Niku.. You just need to learn timing and patience. That's why you keep losing to me"

"I don't have time to learn patience and correcting timing when all you need to is to keep punching til your opponents down"

he reminds me so much of myself before. I think what he needs is discipline

"see that's the problem with you, you rush and don't plan a strategy. That's why Vixon is refusing to see you fight"

he lowers his head. " still y/n... i can't just jump into the ring because you want out"

"Out of everyone here, i can pretty much see your the second strongest before me. And it's not like my reason for wanting out is pointless"

"yeah? what's your reason hm? To go to that stupid ball shit?"

"Yeah actually. It's my last year in the academy and someone important to me will be gone soon and i want to spend as much time that i have with her"

"the Empress huh?" he suddenly raised his eyebrows, smirking

"Yep. The Empress, for sure," I grinned, "What can I say, I just really like that woman."

"damn, you're so cheesy, it's making me wanna throw up" he say, pretending to gag. "You wanna skip this fight just to see a woman who doesn't reciprocate your feelings?"

"Nah.. you see ... me and the Empress did stuff which only adds to one thing. She likes me as well and i'm just waiting for her to express her feelings back to me"

that felt good saying that to his face. I stood tall and smiling, feeling proud

"No way.. you bagged the Empress??????"

"Pretty rare huh"

"You're just speaking bs"

"okayyyyyy believe what you want but just know, that i am one of the luckiest girl in the world"

"You know that there's such thing as friends with benefits right?"

my smile faded. "What"

"Like you do stuff together but you don't have feelings for that person at all?"

"..... yeah of course i knew that but the Empress isn't like that all!"

"Pshhh okay whatever" he sneered

i scowled at him as i rolled my eyes. I didn't know there's such thing as that...

"So are you in or not! Coz even if you say no, i'll still be attending the ball tonight and your gang will eventually lose. I mean it's pretty much a win win situation for the both of us."

he was thinking hard, not knowing what his answer would be

".... fine..."

" good. I'll be training you my methods for tonight. So give credits if you do win"
